<p>Kalau makan di Pizza Hut, orang biasanya tidak pernah melewatkan sajian salad-nya yang menggiurkan itu, dimana kita bisa milih sendiri sayuran dan segala tetek bengek yang ada disitu, beserta saus-sausnya yang beragam. Kebanyakan orang menggunakan kesempatan &#8220;sekali ngambil&#8221; ini untuk menumpuk salad sebanyak-banyaknya di mangkuk yang kecil itu.</p>
<p><span id="more-850"></span>Entah siapa yang mempopulerkan kebiasaan &#8220;menumpuk salad&#8221; di Pizza Hut ini. Saya jadi ingat dulu waktu saya kecil, saat kami sekeluarga sedang makan-makan di restoran yang sama, saya pergi mengambil salad juga, namun tidak pakai sistem tumpuk-menumpuk seperti yang dilakukan oleh orang-orang, karena saya takut tidak bisa menghabiskannya - seperti yang ibu saya selalu mengajarkan, &#8220;Janganlah membuang-buang makanan&#8221;. Begitu saya kembali ke meja, salah seorang anggota keluarga yang melihat mangkuk saya kontan berkata, &#8220;Yah, rugi banget cuma ngambil segitu. Mestinya tadi ngambil yang banyakan dong! Sayang, udah bayar mahal-mahal!&#8221;</p>
<p>Sekarang kalau saya mengingat-ingat lagi kenangan di masa kecil itu, saya jadi berpikir, sebenarnya, siapakah yang paling <em>kere</em> disini? Saya, yang mengambil sesuai dengan apa yang bisa saya makan, atau mereka yang menumpuk makanan di mangkuk mereka sebanyak-banyaknya, tidak peduli apakah mereka bisa menghabiskan semua makanan tersebut atau tidak? Karena dengan jumlah bayaran yang sama per-mangkuk, saya mengambil jatah yang lebih sedikit, sedangkan mereka mengambil dengan lebih banyak. Apakah karena dengan harga per mangkuk tersebut, orang-orang sudah merasa mereka semestinya bisa mendapatkan lebih dari yang seharusnya?</p>
<p>Mungkinkah dengan harga sekian rupiah per mangkuk tersebut, bagi kebanyakan orang sudah merupakan harga yang terlalu mahal untuk tidak mengambil porsi makanan sebanyak-banyaknya?</p>
<p>Ditambah lagi, saya terus terang saja merasa bingung melihat ada yang menumpuk sayur-sayuran seperti jagung, buncis, wortel, telur rebus dan kentang, bawang bombay, lalu ditambah dengan semangka, melon, dan agar-agar rasa strawberry dan jeruk, kemudian menyiram semua kombinasi makanan tersebut dengan saus mayones dan <em>Thousand Island</em>. Saya tidak bisa membayangkan rasanya seperti apa - melihat saja sudah bikin geli, apalagi kalau disuruh makan seluruh kombinasi makanan tersebut dalam satu mangkuk.</p>
<p>Makanan, menurut saya, adalah sesuatu yang harus dinikmati dari rasa, bukan dari porsinya. Semakin banyak kuantitas makanan yang ada di piring saya tidak menjamin bahwa makanan itu bisa menjadi lebih enak.  Membuat saya lebih gemuk iya, tapi tidak lebih enak.</p>
<p>Mungkin ini adalah salah satu efek samping dari kebiasaan buruk bangsa kita - mengambil lebih dari yang kita sanggupi, dan merasa kita berhak mendapatkan sebanyak-banyaknya dengan uang yang telah kita bayar. Bahkan, apabila memungkinkan, lebih banyak dari yang kita bayar.</p>
<p>Saya kadang berpikir; sejak kapan pula bangsa kita telah sedemikan diperbudaknya dengan uang, karena segala-galanya kini diukur dengan uang; segala-galanya diukur dengan pemikiran untung dan rugi. Kalau sudah begini, pantaskah saya bertanya; mental bangsa ini sebenarnya mental <em>kere</em>, atau serakah?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I probably won&#8217;t be able to afford a real SLR and in the meantime will still allow <a href="http://mypotret.wordpress.com" target="_blank">Toni</a> and <a href="http://elyanigunadi.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Elyani</a> to make me jealous with their awesome photography skills, but when all one&#8217;s got is a Sony cybershot digital camera, one has really got to make do with what one&#8217;s got, so experimenting is the key.</p>
<p>While at the bakery, I managed to snap some interesting images of the cakes and their decorations. Enjoy the cupcakes and feel free to drool.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Following <a href="http://azureru.com" target="_blank">Eru</a>&#8217;s tag on our own personal workstations, I&#8217;m posting mine that had just been photographed, just the way it was (no cleaning up done whatsoever, I swear), half an hour ago. I had to edit it a bit to make it look purdy.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-838" title="What's on Therry's Desk?" src="http://therrysays.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/161208_workstation.jpg" alt="What's on Therry's Desk?" width="450" height="339" /></p>
<p>If you know what my desk previously looked like, you&#8217;d notice that there was no scanner before. Around sometime mid 2008 we bought a Canon scanner and an Epson printer - made it easy for design work when people asked for hard copy. The printer is placed on another table on the left.</p>
<p><span id="more-835"></span></p>
<p>So basically I have my Fujitsu A3110 Lifebook, a Wacom Intuos3 graphic tablet, and Sonic Gear speakers with the subwoofer placed underneath the desk (where Micah loves to sleep next to, I&#8217;m afraid). On the right side of the desk is the old mouse and the pig-shaped wrist pad  so that I don&#8217;t get bruised wrist while working, and then there&#8217;s my Sony Ericsson W300i mobile.</p>
<p>I think the clear, somewhat yellowish liquid in the mug is actually some herbal drink I take due to the current swollen gum that I&#8217;m suffering from - wisdom teeth is growing and it&#8217;s giving me a pain in the arse. Which explains the blister of tablets lying there - those are Cataplam - it contains diclofenac potassium and although I&#8217;ve worked for 1.6 years in a pharmaceutical company I have no idea at all what it means, except that it reduces the pain and it makes me feel sleepy - schweet! The rest of the stuff on the right side are pens and brushes and oh, this old make-up brush that I end up using to clean my keyboard instead.</p>
<p>On the left side of the table is my Canon scanner, some CMS manual book, my headphones and a bottle of vitamin C tablets.</p>
<p>So that&#8217;s all folks! Nothing special really - but I love my desk mostly because it&#8217;s L-shaped and curved inside - I hate sharp edges inward or outward!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m tagging <a href="http://finally-woken.com" target="_blank">Anita</a>,<a href="http://cisayong-girl.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> Ecky</a>, <a href="http://cc79.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Chenchen</a>,<a href="http://mypotret.wordpress.com/" target="_blank"> Toni</a>, <a href="http://tere616-blissfull.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Tere616</a>, and <a href="http://blog.woelank.com/" target="_blank">Woelank</a>.  Show us your workstation, peeps!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While browsing <a href="http://hongkiat.com" target="_blank">Hongkiat.com</a>, I found an interesting post entry that showcased 50 of the greatest computer workstations they&#8217;d found on the net. Most are Mac computers, and while I&#8217;m still dreaming of owning a 20-inch iMac, these guys have gone out of their ways to own at least three computers- if not more - in their personal workstations.</p>
<p>It baffles me why a person must use so many monitors at the same time, but maybe an expert programmer like <a href="http://azureru.com" target="_blank">Eru</a> or an experienced 3D animator like <a href="http://woelank.com" target="_blank">Woelank</a> could explain.</p>
<p>Anyways, here are the selected photos of my favorite workstations;</p>
<p>Check out the amount of monitors on this one! This guy must be minting it.</p>
<p><a href="http://flickr.com/photos/didak/477054638/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-827" title="Home Office of Stefan Didak" src="http://therrysays.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/workstations_01.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="334" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-826"></span></p>
<p>I love how almost everything is white and decorated with random pictures and tiny knick-knacks here and there. This is a very girly computer setup though.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/coldeskimo/213392993/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-828" title="Cold Eskimo workstation setup" src="http://therrysays.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/workstations_02.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>This one has Intuos, so it&#8217;s gotta be a favorite, although to be honest I&#8217;m much more worried about one of the laptops being knocked over since the workstation is so close to the kitchen!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelbystrom/1091933565/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-829" title="Silly Mac Setup" src="http://therrysays.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/workstations_03.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>Glass table, monitor attached on the wall - very neat, with just enough amount of colors shining out.</p>
<p><a href="http://flickr.com/photos/86236106@N00/166772180/in/pool-tuawrigs/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-830" title="Mac On a Wall" src="http://therrysays.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/workstations_04.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="334" /></a></p>
<p>Himself obviously loves this one just because it has a Korg MIDI controller which is the same type as his.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mutematt/527382505/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-831" title="Lights On!" src="http://therrysays.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/workstations_05.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="332" /></a></p>
<p>I bet by now you&#8217;re drooling - can&#8217;t really blame you, I was too. But we must, after all, go back to reality and realise that our own workstation only looks like this..</p>
<p><a href="http://therrysays.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/workstations_06.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-832" title="Where the fuck is my mouse?!" src="http://therrysays.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/workstations_06.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="374" /></a></p>
